Yep, that was the only reason I started training him. He would ambush me and attack, but after about a week with the clicker, if he was challenging me, I would give him the "ball" command and that would diffuse the behavior. He moved out on his own about one month later. I still miss the bastard.

My aunt and uncle had a raccoon that loved marshmallows. They had to put a padlock on his habitat to keep him from getting the marshmallows out of the very top of the kitchen cabinet. It's amazing how smart raccoons are! But, as you experienced, they are wild animals and can turn on you!
